Friends of Sinclair's: Joanne Heinen 🪴💛🍞
Part of what makes Sinclair’s so special is the community we built it for. We’re beyond grateful for customers who have truly become friends, and we want you to know them, too!
We're so excited to introduce you to Joanne Heinen! She is a wife, mama, nurse, incredible baker, and *officially* a plant lady (which may or may not be our fault 😂).
Q: Where are you from?
A: I'm originally from Mire, but currently live in Roberts Cove, where my husband grew up.
Q: What does a perfect Saturday look like for you?
A: I get up really early, bake what I need to stock my crumb house (Candy Lane Crumbery LLC), then do plant chores! Since Sinclair's opened, I've gone from having about 20 plants, to now about 150. My plant chores consist of watering, pruning and making sure "everyone" is okay. I love it!
Q: What are your three favorite things around your house?
A: I have a few sentimental pieces from my grandmother's house, and my husband's grandmother's house. I also have a few paintings my husband did when he was younger, and those are displayed in my kitchen. They mean a lot to me!
Q: Plants, vintage or handmade?
A: Plants!
Q: If you had to describe Sinclair's in one word, what would it be?
A: Unique.
Q: What's the best advice you've ever been given?
A: My dad used to tell me this when I was younger, you have to be smarter than what you're working with.
Q: Is there anything else you'd like to share?
A: I love that [Sinclair's] is located here, just a few minutes from home. I love the presence that Sinclair's has brought to the community. It's sparked joy, not only in my life, but everyone else that comes in here. And it's always different every time I come in!
